Just replaced the rear at 32K. I replaced them with ceramic since they seem to wear faster than the front brakes. Front brakes still going, but probably going to get them redone at Acura because of the rotor warp issue.

52K and the rears would not pass VA inspection. I had my buddy's shop put on ceramics and wanted them to to the fronts and they refused bc they were still in such good shape.
Kinda weird that a few of us have had the rears go first....

58,000 on my 2006 TSX and my back's are totally shot and my fronts are warped.
BUT... keep in mind for 2 summers now i've pulled an 800lb jetski in all types of traffic. This includes two 1,200 mile trips down to FL.
Going to replace them now with some nice hawk pads and drilled (Just drilled, not slotted or both) TriNET rotors.

i'm still on my OEM's and i'm at 31k now... last time i took it in for servicing they said i had about 80% left...
i live in LA too, but i have no problems... i guess it comes down to style of driving too. some people live on gas/brakes with little time with no pedal action-- me, i like cruising and not touching either pedal if not necessary.

2004 TSX NAV 5AT MSM
I took my TSX in for my 50K service and I mentioned that my steering wheel was shimmying when braking. He said that there was a service bulletin in regards to the front brake pads causing too much heat which warped the rotors. So they replaced my front pads with the new upgraded versions and resurfaced my front rotors. All free of charge.

I got my brakes done when I hit the 40K mark.
Right now I'm at 48,100 miles and the brakes are fine, just an occassion shake of the steering wheel when I brake from 70 to 40mph, i heard this is normal or something and a lot of other TSX drivers have this too?

I think I have everyone beat. I replaced teh rears at 50k miles. There was no pad material left. And now the fronts are completely shot at 60k miles. The fronts are still stock. I plan on replacing them today. The make a squeaky sound when driving and stopping so i'm pretty sure its the wear indicator kicking in.

guess you have no time to post because you're always cruising in the TSX picking up the ladies.

I have 42K (6MT) and this afternoon the dealer replaced my front rotors and pads under warranty. All I had to do was pay $180 for the rear pads. Now I have 4 new tires and an almost-all-new brake system. Car is just like new again.
On an unrelated note, the TL loaner car was fan-f'ing-tastic. Even though I swore no more FWD cars after I'm done with the TSX...I dunno now. A TL-S with a 6MT+navi would be sweeeeeet...but for the same money, I could get a 2003 M5!
